"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."

This seems rather narrow minded. What's meant is that people should be more aware of how they can lend a hand to those in need. However, who's to say that if you aren't actively fixing something you're causing a problem? I think the only instance where it was actually this case was during WWII. I'm thinking specifically about those who stood idly by as Hitler attempted to eliminate a whole sect of humanity. Scratch that, any sort of genocide falls under this quote.

Yet, there should be something said regarding the "Good Samaritan" Laws which were imposed to protect those who attempt to help should anything go wrong while lending a hand. If you think about it, it's pretty terrible that laws like these had to be put into place in order to protect those who choose to serve others in need. [Learn More: HERE]

Perhaps it's more an issue over what sort of problem there is, over anything else. Even still, it's sad to me that someone who has intentions of helping can find themselves in a sticky mess if anything does go awry as they nix their hesitation to assist.


The long and short: this world's got a lot of issues.
